The current British Army is a volunteer army, but during the second world war there was widespread conscription, although not in Northern Ireland. National service continued 1960 iirc. I can see a draft coming in again, and I seem to remember the UK survivors guide mentioning it, both on the mainland and in Northern Ireland, although (again iirc) I think the recruitment in Northern Ireland was purely for local service.
